Positioning the CPU Above the ZIF Socket
4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into its
place. Top plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the
CPU in the socket. This is normal and will not
damage the CPU. However, if the handle is not
completely closed, damage to the CPU and/or
system board may result.
Fan Exhaust
The CPU must be kept cool by using a fan exhaust
configuration in connection with the heatsink. The
temperature of the air entering the fan/heatsink cannot
exceed 45°C.
In order to provide proper airflow to the CPU, all
movable obstructions (power supply cables, cards,
floppy disk cables) must be clear of the CPU heatsink/
fan component in accordance with the space clearance
discussed in the CPU installation section of this manual.
